MOSCOW
Moscow, Russia’s capital
Moscow is often reduced to its symbols, the Kremlin, Red Square, monumental Stalinist buildings, yet the city cannot be understood through landmarks alone. Vast and dense, Moscow is shaped by centuries of history layered onto one another, where imperial heritage, Soviet legacies and contemporary life coexist in sometimes unexpected ways.
Beyond its iconic skyline, Moscow reveals itself through everyday details: residential districts far from the center, churches hidde behind grand avenues, long walks along the river, and a metro system that functions as both infrastructure and architectural statement. Visiting Moscow is less about ticking off sights than about observing how the city lives, moves and adapts, between tradition and constant transformation.
